I have just found 24 rolls of used 35mm film (probably at least 10-15 years old), and was wondering if anyone could recommend somewhere to get them developed - assuming that they can still be processed?

There are a few places online but I would always rather go with recommendations and experience! I have no idea what is on the films but I suspect there will be a few rolls of my wife and I in our younger years, as well as a lot of photo's of our kids early years.

I suspect the quality won't be brilliant so I don't really want to spend a fortune if I don't have to!

You'll have no problem getting them developed but the results will be very hit and miss as they will have gone out of date many years ago. Still, you will still have results, just the colours will probably be all over the place. Better than nowt!

Place I used to work. Proper family run lab established 40+ years. Still run proper dip and dunk processing machines and all sorts if that takes your fancy. I'm sure they'll do you a deal on that many rolls too and will happily post out to you.

I rate these chaps:

They develop, scan and then deliver you digital versions which I find takes away all the downsides of film.

What kind of film are they? If it's Kodachrome you might be out of luck.

How did you get on?

I've used my local lab OneVision Imaging a few times for slide film, but I haven't shot any in a while.
